To put it simply, we have become persuaded of our desire to spend the rest of our lives together. :) We see this as the model of Jesus' demonstrated and graceful commitment with his bride (the church), the most sincere display of true love. (Romans 5:8, 1 Cor 13)
Over the course of the three months we have known each other we both have experienced an outward and inward confirmation about His leading, that this is a relationship that resembles God and His heart for mankind. Although we do realize that there can be more to learn about another person than one can learn in just three months, the essential things about our lives have been acknowledged and shared, namely our love for one another and God's calling over our lives. Thus, we have both affirmed in our hearts with each other our intentions for life long partnership, have communed with God about it, and feel at peace about taking the next steps forward. (Philippians 4:6-7)
The video below covers why we're choosing one another, where we feel led in our lives, and how we feel at peace with each other and with God.
Marriage is a calling just as much as any other major life decision. As outlined in the video, we both feel passionate about our life callings and the Spirit's guidance in unifying us with one another. Thank you to all our family and communities for any support. We love you!
Congratulations to both of you. Thomas, you must be wonderful, because Heather is the most amazing person and I cannot imagine she would choose someone who is not her match in every way.
